The city of Los Angeles has officially voted to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.
Although, technically, the minimum wage will still be zero for all the people who will lose their jobs because of this.

In a way, this might be a good thing. They can do this there and see what a horrible economy crippling thing it is. Then all the idiots around the country will have to admit they didn’t know anything about how economic systems operate.
@Chuck that’s not how Marxism works – if raising the wage to $15/hr didn’t fix the problem, then it wasn’t enough! we have to raise it to $30! In socialist statism you ALWAYS double down on stupid.
Too bad 2/3 of the people in LA are illegals and the laws don’t apply to them, it works both ways. The rest of the people can sit around saying wow, look at the money I’m not making.
On the plus side, it may cause more people to lose their welfare if they get a job…..oh wait, what was I thinking, never mind.
I live in Southern California and the amount of self-congratulatory back-patting the LA politicians were spouting when this law passed was reminiscent of His Hubris’ “when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal” speech. The world is now fair, and hundreds of thousands – maybe millions – of people have been mandated out of poverty. (We would like the statues erected by a grateful citizenry to be gold-plated, please. They can certainly afford it now.)

Actually those fired will be better off living on the government dole.
This is a “clown car” moment, if ever there was one……
